Abstract
- Eight professors at American universities were awarded the Nobel Prizes in science in Oct 1998. The sweep by these professors could silence the criticisms of recent decades that Americans have been losing their competitive edge in the sciences to others. Some scientists believe the dominance of American universities in the awards is a reflection of the decline of US corporations in financing basic research.
